I like how Stitch had a clear chance to draw against Adler after he told him of Perseus’s death, but still chose not to. He truly felt like he did his job, nothing else mattered.
@@Skabloink I thikn Stich respected/admired Adler too much to want to just kill him outright. The way Stich saw it, he did what he could. Seems like he had nothing left to live for either. No goal. Imagine what might have happened (or perhaps even still can if it's fade to black) if he's given a goal. One that values strength yet appeals to his efficent methods that don't deal with sympathy. He can be convinced and controlled. Knowing how? That's an art. Basically, don't kill him. BREAK him. With honesty though. None of that lies and deciet with numbers. If he sees strength and honesty he'll have to acknowledge it.
Case and point: Woods (BO1) Dragovich (The First time in the car Explosion in BO1) Mamendez (After the grenade that went off killing his sister) Kravchenko (BO1) Yuri (MW2/MW3 during the terrorist attack at the airport)
@@jacknagel9387 Menendez has two though. The first time is when Mason meets him and a grenade went off in that hut with Menende still inside. Yuri doesn’t count though since you’re playing as him.
1. Sad that Stitch didn’t bring up Bell during this. 2. I’m happy how they show how obsessed with Perseus Adler is. At this point, he still believed it was a single man. I think it shows how delusional he is about Perseus.
It was cool doing this because when you kill Adler it made sense as stitch died so you play as his son and kill Adler or stop Perseus and betray his father’s legacy
A true soldier Stitch was, he had made Perseus’s vision true and carried it all the way to the end of his life, yet he said “I am not the first neither the last of the pursues’s recruits.”
I mean when you think about it, he's less cartoony than his appearance suggests. Guy had a University Diploma, a high paid job in the freaking KGB and some guy comes along, destroys his work, tortures him, takes half his vision and then the superior and state whom he stayed so very loyal to, strip him of his rank and abandon him in a Soviet Era Gulag. A horrific prison and labor camp. He's more a tragic villain if anything
@@absanchez777 he became dissolution by those very ideals of The USSR as soon as he was imprisoned. he was no longer faithful to it, stich sought his own way.
I really liked how the “enemy” can be perceived to be Adler or Stitch. Yeah Stitch is a communist and a murder but so was Adler… except for the communist part but seriously. Adler and Stitch are almost the same person in a way
First cod mini story that actually made you feel in a gray area of who the hero and villain is, we’ve literally followed the perspective of stitch and Allies since the beginning like. Obviously you know who’s the bad guy but the change of perspective shows you we’re fighting for the same cause just go about it in different ways
That grey area is actually what Cold War was all about. Toeing that line. When the game was marketed, they showed both sides sharing the same words in their speeches. The only difference being their ideals, even their methods were the same. The CIA brainwashed Bell, just like the KGB brainwashed Mason, Adler, and so on. Both sides share the same story. It is a matter of perspective. Neither side is good, nor are they bad. They just are.
@@eis6570 this could’ve actually been the prequel tbh now that you say that, because they’re still looking for Perseus and depending on what ending you do you either “stop Perseus” or kill alder woods and mason, they literally just gave us the prequel to the campaign throughout the year if you think of it
Reminds me of a bit of Reznov's quote in bo1. "Can you trust your leaders to destroy it... or you think they will use it? The flag may be different but the methods are the same. They will use you, as they used me...You must decide... decide what do you think is worth fighting for..."
If they took another year or 2 to make this game it could’ve been a masterpiece. But CoD is just a cash grab nowadays. Quantity over quality and whatnot.
@@bravoravenofpestilence1161 It wasnt just a cash grab, cold war AND vanguard werent supposed to be treyarch games if they had the choice they wouldnt have had even made it yet
Does the sound of the gunshot match the type/model pistol Adler is holding? If the gunshot is a different weapon, it'd be safe to assume the gunshot was someone sniping Adler or something.
To all of yall wondering about the weird sound of the gunshot. Go to roughly 2:29-2:34 and look to the left of the screen, looks like someone crouched with a rifle right next to that tree
@@eis6570 bo4 the game was amazing. If u went in there with an open minded expectation. Zombies was different and fun. Had lots of fun on XI. Multiplayer was also lots of fun. Grinded for dark matter made it after 5 weeks. It is the best final gun camo of all time. Imo
@@lapure2220 like I said on here. If u went in there open minded the game wasnt bad. I dont play cod for story at least not anymore. I just play it to drop nukes. Bo3 was amazing for that. Bo4 was lots of fun with the boys. At the end of the day u dont know if I'm a black ops fan or not, but all i gotta say is i grinded every single bo game.
Black ops 2 is from the old canon, the new canon is WAW,Vanguar,Bo1,Bo Cw viral campaing, Bo Cw AND IS WARZONE, MW2019 and the teams and his Warzone , the only thing im not sure is about the zombies invading verdansk
@@ethanbrown2019 there's another cutseen that takes place 5 days after this. Adler is still alive. (The cutseen where cpt.butcher sees the coldwar squad)
There’s a sniper sitting in the background when Stitch turns around says “my life no longer matters” he’s not sitting there before when Adler walks up to grave stone.
Theory: It was a sniper, but it shot and killed STITCH not ADLER. For what reason? Theoretically, Stitch has served enough in the Perseus cause and it's like he said, "My life no longer matters". He didn't want to risk being captured and tortured again by Adler and felt he had accomplished his mission. This lines up with the theories with the gun's sound not a 1911 (which I agree, do sound little weird for a 1911). It also makes sense with the dialogue Stitch gives with how he's "changed the world" and how his life "no longer matters...". Finally, it explains why Adler is alive in the Pacific cutscene (It takes place on August 24, five days after his "supposed" death).
I honestly believe adler faked Bell's death to send them undercover to help bring Perseus down from the inside. I really don't want to believe that Bell is dead.
I personally think that is a hidden sniper and that mysterious person is bell stitch probably found him after Adler shot him and helped heal his wounds and now the two of them are hunting Adler. Just a theory of mine stitch and bell are my favorite characters in the cold war story. Their both forgotten soldiers looking for revenge 😔
They did that on purpose, your ears did not deceive you that was not a 1911. I think everyone is forgetting how Imran in the 80s and 90s and eventually Victor Zakhaev in 2019 factor in to this. they showed us those 2 for a reason. Also Perseus‘s goal is very similar to the Russian ultranationalist movement ideals
I think it’s still meant to be a 1911 because in the season 5 intro at about 1:44 when Stryker is shooting the 1911 at the window for him and woods to escape it has the same sound
@@TraGamer1606 Fuck i didn't even think about that, Perseus could totally be the start of the Ultra Nationalists. I gotta admit, I love this story they're weaving together, how now MW Black Ops and even Zombies is cannon to the main plot.
I’m really torn, I don’t want Stitch dead because he was a great villain I’d love to see in the next campaign, but I think this is a great ending for him. He’s completed his mission, changed the world, and similar to Thanos in that he accepts and in a way embraces the end. Unless you think he set this up which to be honest I don’t like that.
It's a bummer perseus died off screen, he had such an intense build up in the campaign, he had a cool design, story, overall interesting character, shame it was wasted.
@@user_name_here4832 one question i got is how the hell can you play as stitch in Mauer or Forsaken since those maps are set in 1985 or hell even a couple of the multiplayer maps are after August 1984
@2:07 that part of Stitch’s speech had me kinda excited for COD vanguard when I heard it would go back into WW2, I was hoping it would give us a sense of the true price of eastern front and how brutal that war was and how it affected not only the Soviet Union but the world. Sadly we got a shitty vanguard campaign lol
@@masterchief4150 most likely BO2-4 are completely gutted from canon now. Warzone is set in the 2020s and has none of the tech BO2 had. So they are likely gonna rework the characters from BO2 to fit the join BO-MW2019 universe
No body, no death. Stitch could still be alive. Why would Adler kill the man who knows of, and is part of perseus, instead of capturing and interrogating
Why does everyone have so many Pistols. Adler has a handgun in his leg holster and is holding one. The other dude has a Leg holster and a chest holster
Interesting that they end it off this way Would've thought he would spare him when he said 'I should kill you' I wonder if they'll do further flashback stories when they do their next game if it's to be something like Black Ops II
They aren’t going to write it as: Stitch was the brother of Bell or twin and remove his mask and his real reason for doing the war wasn’t because of Perseus really, but to avenge. Or it is bell after being shot in the face and then falling into the water smashing his face on a rock and he got Adler and brainwashed him in between the “death of bell” and season two, like some “Now You See Me” trick
But now we got 2 cliff hangers, the MW side ended with soap saying he's near verdansk and the nuke going off and now got this side of cold war not knowing wth just happened
Perseus and Stitch are dead but there will still be devastating events that will form the landscape of the world of COD, All of these events caused by the will of a single man.
The multiplayer story is so confusing, and the fact that it’s tied to the actual campaign, and therefore zombies, makes it worse. Even the cinematics don’t explain the multiplayer story well, it’s tied to the multiplayer focused warzone, and all of the Intel that’s needed to actually piece it together. Yeah, I like Stitch and Naga, and I would love to see more of them in the future, but I want their stories in the campaign, not multiplayer. Literally this whole story could’ve been either the next black ops story by itself, or it could’ve been a campaign dlc, instead of stringing together a story every season
@@user-so4ov7re3s i finished both endings of the campaign, but because the operators aren’t, except for a specific few, they’re getting shoved in the story after the fact, like how adding Kravchenko to zombies ties it in to the story mode, as well as the rat tunnel part of break on through tying the campaign to zombies. And many people who are new to zombies, or don’t do Easter eggs/ achievement hunts for all 3 modes probably won’t get all the intel to explain the story.
Anyone notice how Stitch had his hand on his pistol in the beginning, but when Stitch told Adler that Perseus was more then one person, Stitch decided not to kill him?
